After a year of absence, Big As TEXAS is back! Hurricane Rita may have pushed us down, but not out!
We are happy to announce that Big As TEXAS: A Patchwork of Lives will take place the weekend of March 16 – 18, 2007, at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott Hotel.
We are please to announce that our keynote speaker will be Melissa Taylor, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Melissa is a certified fitness instructor, who specializes in fitness for large bodies. She will be discussing the importance of movement for all sizes of large, among other things.
We will begin on Friday evening with dinner followed by a nighttime swim, for those brave enough to trust Texas’s March weather. For those of us who are not brave, the hospitality room will offer games, puzzles, and conversation.
On Saturday we will have a total of five workshops, including a morning movement activity, an activism workshop, a health-related workshop, a creative workshop, and an educational workshop.
At 2005’s creative workshop our participants created quilt squares. In the interim, those squares were quilted into a blanket which will be raffled on Saturday night. The proceeds will go to fund size-positive literature for area elementary schools.
On Saturday evening we will have a dinner, hear from our keynote speaker, and then dance the evening hours away.
On Sunday morning we conclude with a brunch and a going away program.
Throughout the assembly, there will be door prizes and other surprises.
Below is a registration blank with prices and meal options.
